Hmm, too bad about that Butlerian Jihad. It would have been so much easier for the Bene Gesserit to run a rigged dating site.

There’s no way this doesn’t (eventually) turn into a flaming disaster. At which point it’ll just be a matter of how many people have ended up dead as a result, because they’re absolutely getting information that could get some people killed in some countries.

AHAHAHHA. So let me get this right: this is the platform that, right now, if I post something highly specific & with a clear emotional valence like “Fuck craft beer and embroidery” will scrape that and automagically add “Craft beer” and “Embroidery” to my “interests” in its ad settings. And it wants to hook me up with other people interested in same? Genius!
(Actually, one of my genuine comforts about FB is that it gets my actual interests so tragically, algorithmically wrong. They think they know me, but they very much do not.)

…or it’ll hook you up with someone whose fetish is literally fucking craft beers.
(and I don’t even want to imagine what it’ll do with the embroidery information…)

What are you saying? Because I mainly have relatives on Facebook. Now I will admit I grew up in a rather rural area, but it’s not THAT rural.

Oh just wait. For now, opt-in. But soon an update will “accidentally” enable it for a billion people.
Which is odd because it will turn Facebook finally into what Myspace unofficially was.

“Matches between users who opt in to Facebook Dating will be suggested by the algorithm based on users’ preferences, interests, and activity within Facebook and Instagram.”
Sounds like a breeding programme for mindless, easy to lead consumers minions.

“Matches” sounds like a good old throwdown in the octagon.

Our next-door neighbour, whom we have known for decades, decided to get rid of their landline. So, when they were abroad, and their son lost his mobile phone, they had no way of contacting him but to phone us, next door. Don’t get rid of your landline just yet.

Only if they clear out the telemarketers and scammers.
Really, e-mail and texts and the occasional voice call do fine for keeping up with my personal social network. The only platform I’m on is LinkedIn, and I check that once a month at most.

Pathetic. They couldn’t even figure out to call it “fuckbook”.
